Students for Economic Justice

Program Overview

The Students for Economic Justice Program (SEJ) is an intensive 6-week program that gives college and university students organizing training through political education, skills building and in-the-field experience working on economic and social justice campaigns for our partner sites. With guest presenters and partners from a variety of civic engagement and social and economic justice organizations around the County, the program gives interns exposure to the broader social and economic justice community in San Diego.

About

The goal of the project is to empower leaders in underrepresented communities to advance social justice policy agendas and achieve positions of influence with interconnected countywide leadership development resources that focus upon increasing the power of historically underrepresented communities, with a priority focus on racial/ethnic groups that too often have been without representation.
